(Reiki is) “the secret of inviting happiness, the miraculous medicine of all diseases.” ~ Mikao Usui, Japan (via Fran Brown)
“What I love about Reiki is that I have it wherever I am – in my hands.” ~ Carlos Sánchez, Argentina
“Reiki taught me not to be controlled by fear but to relinquish control.” ~ Paul Mitchell, USA
“Reiki is a protection, a guide, that has helped me to see things, people, situations with greater clarity and precision.” ~ Scott Howlett, Australia
“Reiki is joy, love and peace. When I am being Reiki, my life is in flow for myself, my community and the world.” ~ Grainne Warner, UK
“Reiki is an expression of life. It is the energy of life that is simply there. Because we are Reiki, we can employ it to support others and ourselves. It is all connected. Chief Seattle said, “Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.” It is just so.” ~ Donna Stetser, USA
“Reiki is a direct connection to God – the “all-one.” ~ Astrid Milvi Bagwitz, Estonia
“If I were to put my understanding of Reiki into words I would say it works on an atomic level. Reiki connects us to ourselves, others and all of creation because it reminds us that we are all made of the same particles. Reiki energy is beyond my comprehension. It is something I accept.” ~ Peter Coates-Buglear, UK
“Reiki is a great partner for us. It waits for us with its wisdom.” ~ Nur Stepanova, Russian Federation
“Reiki is one way I experience the presence of God – physically supporting my life.” ~ Elaine Andres, USA
“I explain Reiki in terms of physics where everything is moving all the time. When we plug into that movement, using Reiki, we have the ability and opportunity to nurture that movement. When things get stuck they begin to stagnate and lose their power e.g. water and money.” ~ Rick Bockner, Canada
“To this day, Reiki continues to teach me and I keep learning.” ~ Paul Mitchell, USA
“My Reiki self-treatment takes me home inside myself. It is like finding the stepping-stones to cross the river to home. Reiki takes us home in life and death. I feel the yearning of the world is to experience a sense of being united with all that is.” ~ Laurence Fontaine, Mexico
“Reiki has taught me to have less fear in life itself. I really trust in the well-being & sense of personal empowerment that Reiki brings into my life.” ~ Tripuri Dunne, UK
